Actually it will indent it to what your indentation settings are for the file type - not so good if you don't have a file type set. Pressing >> will indent it to the right by one, << will indent it to the left by one. On another note, doing =G from the top line of your program will properly indent the entire file. That's nice for people who don't use spaces/tabs properly.

I knew about the >> and << but =G is super useful! (Especially for those of us who code in Python... )
={motion} filter a set of lines through the first of:
1. equalprg (blank by default)
2. indentexpr, or
3. The C-indenting rules
Typically, non-C syntax files set indentexpr to a function of their own, for instance, when editing a Python file, indentexpr=GetPythonIndent(v:lnum).
== is a shorthand for "filter this line only", in the spirit of yy, dd, etc.
gg=G means "Go to the top of the file, and filter all lines down to the very last one".
<< and >> are entirely different. They force an increase or decrease of indentation on the current line, regardless of the indentexpr.
